[Bonus chapter]Change Of Plans, Thane

The animal-hunter team-ups proved to be more problematic than they should have been. Because at times like this, the fight quickly became impossible to win.

An eagle… a bear… an elephant… pigeons… foxes… wolves… soldier ants… There was no limit to what could attack him.

Memories of different times when he was defeated. Sometimes by a terrifying creature like a bear and other times by something as small and insignificant as a rat.

One rat was fine… but a swarm of them was something else…

At some point, he was bitten by a swarm of bees as he stalked a human couple in the woods.

Another time, he found himself having to dive into a river just to avoid being attacked by a swarm of locusts. And after escaping into the safety of the rushing water, the wolf he'd inhabited was incapacitated by a school of 'fish'.

It wasn't just the carnivores that were acting out of sorts or even the insects.
